Rakuten Group Aktie

Today, my heart brimming with gratitude and my spirit ignited with excitement for the future. After considerable reflection and deliberation, I have made the decision to step down from my role at Rakuten. This decision, while not easy, is one I believe to be right one.

I have always pursued my passions and lived my dreams. In any role I have taken, I have put my heart and soul into achieving business goals and objectives. This does not come without hard work and sacrifices. And now, as I embark on this new phase, I am eager to channel my energy and attention towards creating cherished moments and nurturing bonds that matter most in life – my children.

During my time at Rakuten, I am proud to have been part of a team that has disrupted the industry and left a lasting impact on the world. We have challenged the status quo and pioneered new approaches that have transformed the way telecom Networks are build, architected and operated . This disruption has not only shaped the industry but has also brought positive change to the lives of many.

As I prepare to embark on a new chapter, I carry the learnings and experiences gained at Rakuten with me. I am excited about the opportunities that lie ahead and the chance to make a difference in the world once again.

Thank you, Rakuten leadership, for your unwavering support. Thank you, Rakuten employees, for your dedication and collaboration. Together, we have achieved great things, and I am proud to have been part of this incredible journey.

I look forward to staying connected with each one of you as I embrace new challenges and continue to strive for innovation and disruption in the industry.

Wishing you all continued success and fulfillment in your own professional endeavors.
Warm regards,

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan's Rakuten Group Inc is finalising plans to raise about $2.2 billion by issuing new shares, according to two people, in the e-commerce company's latest move to shore up its finances after years of losses from its mobile business.

Rakuten's board could meet as early as this week to decide on the capital raising, according to one of the people.

The public offering is expected to raise roughly 300 billion yen ($2.2 billion) but the amount could change depending on Rakuten's share price, which will influence the pricing of its new equity issuance.

Additionally, Rakuten plans to issue shares to founder and CEO Hiroshi Mikitani and a fund controlled by the entrepreneur, the person said.

A Rakuten spokesperson said it was not something it could comment on. The company is considering various options in regards to its finacial position and it was not true that it had decided on anything, the spokesperson said.

It would make an announcement if such an issue were decided, the spokesperson added.
